Video [Originating from Vectorian Temple]

[This wasn't Chicago. The humans had...interesting architecture, but not something this eclectic even came from the 'modern art' that they seemed to love so much. While the alcolytes had done their job in explaining the situation, Mirage's mind was far too busy processing everything else. He was taken from a rather...high tension moment, as in...minutes before his execution, and was nonetheless worried about his comrades.

He's quick to turn his communication device on, attempting to at least stay CIVIL even though he's pretty much churning with anger on the inside..]

Ah...buongiorno. It seems I have been transported to Cybertron. I will question as to why it is not a lifeless husk later. For now, I am looking for any of my comrades.

Bumblebee. Sideswipe. Do you copy?

...Human Lennox?

[His tone is rather even, his deep voice trailing off after every other sentence. He's expecting a snarky reply from Sideswipe at any second now.

Any second now.]

[Give him a moment for that all to sink in. Okay, so Megatron's gone. They've tried that about twice now so...he's not holding that in too high of esteem. But Starscream is the leader? Or 'Starscream', as he says. Okay. We'll go with that.

But no war?]

I was about to be executed by Soundwave and Barricade.

Tough break. [he actually does sound sympathetic, what is going on here.] Still, it's lucky you got pulled here when you did. The only Soundwave I've met is really friendly.

Did you get a, uh--[soft clang of metal on metal as he indicates the FirstForged symbol--though Mirage can't see it, obviously.]--a patron?

[Yeah, now he's positive you aren't a Starscream. Even post war Starscream would at least still be...a jerk...(Mirage you assume too much)]

I do not believe Soundwave and 'friendly' should be used in the same context.

[That question makes his head tilt slightly.]

Ah, my alignment. It is to Vector Prime.

I would agree with you, ordinarily. Ours is a mech of few words and fewer manners. [not that he'd say that to Soundwave's face, necessarily.]

[repeats] Vector Prime. Right.

[it sounds like he's grinning, a little.] Let me know if you need any help, Mirage.

...Perhaps.

[He's still a bit wary, but he'll keep you in mind, Starscream. You've been nothing if not cordial. Not a single snark in sight.]

Grazie.

No problem. [and slightly smug]

I should probably be thanking you; you're one of the few who's giving me the benefit of the doubt.

It is far from trust, Con.

But we shall see how this goes. One false move and my blades will find a home in your throat.

[He's so charming.]

Naturally. [Now you're speaking his language bro]

Just make sure it really was me, there are three other Starscreams in this dimension right now.

...Scusi?

Apparently I'm a popular mech.

At least two of them don't look anything like me, though.

I'm trying to get them to pick proper designations so we can tell each other apart in casual conversation, but--I'm finding it harder to get along with myself than I thought I might.

[Mirage listen to his problems. Bigger and more important than anyone else's problems ever.]

[Okay, maybe he believes you're a Starscream now.]

I am sure I can come up with clever nicknames.

[They might all be curse words...but...]

I'm sure you can.

Who's Lennox?

...That is of no one's concern.

[If he could keep Lennox's name out of this, he would.]

Jeez, Autobots in your world get protective about humans too, huh.

Fine, keep your secrets. That just means if he or she shows up, I won't know to tell them you're here.
